D Day today ! What should i do ?by Sheitan, January 18
Alright, the electronic poker tables open today at the Montreal casino. There will be 25 tables starting at nl200, i obviously don't have the roll to feel confortable but im sure i can beat it as live should be ez.
Dealers are trying to close these tables because they were not satisfied by the salary the casino want to give them. They would be paid like 16$/hour + tips, wtf ? fucking greedy bastards i hope they fail and the tables will remain opened ! rakeback is 10% capped to 5 bucks THIS IS SO SWEET ! + i'll be able to play much more hands than if it was with a real dealer. I just can't tell how much i love the idea, more hands, less rakeback, no tips, same donks.
Is this a perfect formulae for making ton of cash ? Now the problem is i obviously don't have 6k right now and if i use my personal cash my wife is gonna insta-kill me. So what should i do from now ?
i 12tabled for the first timeby Reload, January 17
and i suck at it wtf, started with 170 or 180 (don't remember) and i only placed in like 4. i got knocked out hecka early in 3 of them (like first level early) because of stupid calls. anyways ended the night w/ 168, which isn't too bad i guess. i'm up $8 today, so at least that's good. hopefully i'll have a good session tomorrow, i will try to reach 200 by the end of the week.
update - got first in a $3 45-man, which brought my BR up to 187, had 5 other SNGs open which i lost 3 of them to suckouts and got 3rd in another.
Well, I won a $4 180-man. The final three was insane. This one guy literally never folded any hand and would call shoves on the flop with no pair no draw 100% of the time. I'll post some of the hands later.

Few Days Ago::::
After cashing out completly again! LIKE A DONK, being tricked by some bad influences (Girls). I decided to go back to school but I realized don't have to quit poker to do this... I guess the Idea was to quit, but I'm not a quiter... I bought in 3 days ago for 50.00 to play for fun. Anyways Hit 150.00 playing 10NL my first night. ( I have an outside income with this in mind I didn't mind playing this limit with 50.00)
!!!!BUT SERIOUSLY people don't understand bankroll management WHATSO EVER! ITS SO ANNOYING to me. The very next day! Had this repeative conversation...
Girl: Hey what did you do last night?
Me: Hard day at Mcdonalds, went home and watched reality Tv.
Girl: Really?
Me: Nah, do I look like your ex?
Girl: haha
Me: I Went out to some club called cans with my boys had a great time, came home was really drunk and upset I spent 95.00 on drinks. You know first 2 rounds were on me cuz I was in a good mood. Anyway I wanted my money back so I played a little poker when I got home and won my beer money back and went to bed.
Girl: How much did you win?
Me: 100.00 it's ok I guess made 5.00 right? I can take you to the movies now or at least pay the tax on your ticket?
Girl: Your silly but for real so you won a 100 but...HOW MUCH did you LOSE tho? (they say the words I caped all annoying and saracastic and sh!t)
Me: ""CONFUSED SMILE"" Thinking are you fu%#ing stupid? How can I lose when I said I won 100.00.
How do you guys explain your poker hobby or even you amazing players that play for $ explain this concept to people? I imagine the higher the stakes the more money they think your losing so I'm sure its not just the people that play for fun that deal with this.
TODAY::::::
....Lost a lot today still up a little overall, but I didn't do good multi tabling. So I decided to cut down to 2 tables and move up to 25NL and take my time to get reads. Anyways...
This table was fun, everyone was playing tight solid. I stole like everypot! I don't think I won a pot over 2.00 yet I grinded out over 75+ in 2 hours with my best hand being Mid pair.
I am acting as if I have 500.00 still and playing 25NL with a 100ish bankroll!!! I know this is stupid but I have about 400.00 about to go back into my epassporte account due to denied transactions and below is why...
**************
1. Don't get an Epassporte Visa if you live in the United States. Its not accepted anywhere because its an international visa. At least in my experience, every purchase I made was denied yet they still charged my card. I have to now waste my time calling every merchant for proof that the purchase was denied and wait for them to fax Epassporte which is just as much fun as grinding play chips... they say they do it then don't.
2. What Should I do here? Cashed out 395.00 of my left over money from ultimate bet. They said the check was received and cashed at wacovia bank. Guys I don't even have a Wacovia Account. Are they trying to fuck with me? Am I seriously out of 395.00 for no reason???!!!
I had them mail me a copy of the cashed check but really What will this do? I'm not the type to put in smily faces but seriously this is
So yesterday I realized that my BR was almost at 40k. Today I decided to take a small shot at nl1000. Instead it turned out to be a looong session. Just 1.7k hands but I've been 2tabling for the most part and even 1tabling for a while. I ended up losing about 2 buyins or so.
Overal I feel okish about my play. Misplayed 2 hands though, which I'm not happy about. Should've also stopped earlier cause the last 400hands or so I was tired and not fully focused and was giving up the pots very often. Also won my biggest pot ever:
Other than that I ran pretty bad. Tons of setups and suckouts but I guess it had to happen after a 3-day heater Gonna get back to nl400 and nl600 now and take another shot in the near future when the tables look good.
I kinda don't know what to do with my preflop bet sizing. I've been experimenting with 3xbb in the past few days and I've got mixed feelings. No idea on what to decide. Does it make much difference anyway?
8D yes, I am a cts fanboy and I have no imagination for names etc.
after I've cleared this I might try out NL25 on a few other sites and clear a few other bonuses, just to experience software and find fishy sites.
In other news, I've been trying too hard at NL50 again. I really don't feel comfortable there yet and it takes me off my game, and I keep playing back at regulars too much -_-. I'm going to play NL25 and watch lots more cardrunners vids until i get my head straightened out.
drsthundza: whoa, looks like you've won some tournies?
drsthundza: big ones?
helmetsky: yeah some big ones
drsthundza: why @ 1/2?
helmetsky: lost everything betting on camel races
helmetsky: :-(
He lost hundreds of thousands of dollars on camel races!? I didn't even know that they existed...
